Nguyen Dinh Phi bb2853a6a4 tty: Fix data race between tiocsti() and flush_to_ldisc()
The ops->receive_buf() may be accessed concurrently from these two
functions.  If the driver flushes data to the line discipline
receive_buf() method while tiocsti() is waiting for the
ops->receive_buf() to finish its work, the data race will happen.

For example:
tty_ioctl			|tty_ldisc_receive_buf
 ->tioctsi			| ->tty_port_default_receive_buf
				|  ->tty_ldisc_receive_buf
   ->hci_uart_tty_receive	|   ->hci_uart_tty_receive
    ->h4_recv                   |    ->h4_recv

In this case, the h4 receive buffer will be overwritten by the
latecomer, and we will lost the data.

Hence, change tioctsi() function to use the exclusive lock interface
from tty_buffer to avoid the data race.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
